 Across the narrow beach we flit,
 One little sand-piper and I;
  And fast I gather, bit by read more 
 Across the narrow beach we flit,
 One little sand-piper and I;
  And fast I gather, bit by bit.
   The scattered drift-wood, bleached and dry,
    The wild waves reach their hands for it.
     The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
      As up and down the beach we flit,
       One little sand-piper and I.
